What was wrong

Defect

THE TIRES/TIRE PRESSURES AND WHEELS LISTED ON THE LABEL ARE INCORRECT. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 120, "TIRE SELECTION AND RIMS FOR MOTOR VEHICLES OTHER THAN PASSENGER CARS."

Risk

CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: INCORRECTLY SIZED TIRES WOULD NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT LOAD CAPACITY FOR THE VEHICLE'S SPECIFIED GROSS AXLE WEIGHT RATING, INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR PREMATURE TIRE FAILURE.

Manufacturer remedy

OWNERS WILL BE MAILED A SUPPLEMENTARY LABEL CONTAINING THE CORRECT TIRE INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING THE LABEL ON VEHICLES. IF OWNERS PREFER, THEIR DEALER CAN INSTALL THE LABEL FOR THEM.
